FBI not having a file on us due to struggle session induced server outage is a good bit

Deleting system32 as a joke was NOT funny

You merely adopted badposting. Owl was hatched in it. Molded by it. They didn't see an effort post until they were a grown bird, by then it was already blinding.

It already happened, it was UlyssesT and he killed Kissinger. But he made it look like natural causes so no news for us.

Depending on the grandma's age, that implies the Soviets defeated the Axis without wheels or sent Yuri Gagarin into space without wheels. It makes either accomplishment much more impressive

Oh you had to walk a document all the way down the hall to the next office over at the FBI?

It's more of a

"Hey feds! What dirt do you have on hexbear.net, aka chapo.chat?"

"Let us check...nothing. You went through all that effort to contact us for that. Should we have a file on it?"

Hangs up

This is a good bit.

"Do you have a file on us?"

"No. Would you like one?"

"Uhh"

2. Definitely goes to @yogthos@lemmy.ml for work on .ml which is federated to a bunch of lite instances.

I've befriended an Anglo here who did 3 weeks of DuoLingo before landing a job teaching English. It's not that hard, they'll put you through some Mandarin (or Cantonese) remedial classes as you go.

I didn't know the historical emissions from the US and EU were going to the third world. All those factories in London pumping out pollution to make goods to send to the Congo and Kazakhstan.

They polluted themselves largely for themselves, now they're exporting the pollution elsewhere... also for themselves.

China is the world's 3rd largest producer of lithium. I'm pretty sure the entire supply chain can be found within China.

Slight disagreement with the unsolicited diet advice aspect: for the purposes of fatshaming, I agree.

But I think unsolicited diet advice for moral reasons should be allowed.

For example: If a user on c/food posts a picture of Sabra hummus, a poster should be a to reply "You should avoid eating Sabra because it's manufactured on an illegal West Bank settlement and is owned by Isr*el"

I have a comrade irl that didn't know KitKat is owned by Nestle, which is a company so evil the executives deserve to be summarily executed for their actions in Africa and the Middle East. Reminders like these are good because companies are owned by other companies owned by other companies and it's hard to keep up a boycott if you don't have a photographic memory these days. Like obviously no Pepsi or Coca Cola products, that's easy to remember. No McDonalds or KFC, that should be easy. Pizza Hut had a hand in the fall of the USSR, so that's a no.

Comrades should encourage comrades to not be complicit in genocide.

Older users that listen/listened to the podcast Chapo Trap House and joined the subreddit (the namesake for this comm) from back in the day vs people who have come to Hexbear later on for the vibes.

The podcast in question (and adjacent TrueAnon et al) drew in plenty of baby leftists, but their style includes a fair amount of things this comm (once again, named after the podcast) or this website as a whole does not allow. Felix would have been banned a long time ago for body shaming Charlie Kirk or some dweeb. Brace for being ableist. Matt Christman for for being fatphobic in a rant somewhere. Etc etc. But the podcast(s) also drew in so many listeners who like it because it wasn't as serious as some of the other left leaning podcasts.

I believe a schism was always going to occur. Mainly between the old users who made up who we were and new users who want to shape what we will be. For some we have strayed too far from the days of allowing a reactionary comment up so we can dogpile on the reactionary, get them to post their penis then body shame them for their ugly penis or weight. For others, creating a safe space for comrades supersedes the need to leave up reactionary posts for the purposes of dog piling on a chud.

It's performative because they're telegraphing that they're drinking in conjunction with being a "single millennial man" in the title. Implying the things on the whiteboard are unusual if not for the fact that they're single. Implying that if they were in a relationship they'd eat healthier and not drink.

The "oh yeah, we drink alcohol.... exclusively on weekdays!" aspect is highly cringe.

If we continuously re-did the awards for 2023 every year but with different categories, that'd be a good alternative bit.

I've been in Wuhan for like 6 months ish and the amount of EVs on the road are drastically higher than 5 years ago, and I think petrol taxis are being phased out.

Like when I was living in Australia, you'd see a Tesla every now and then. The number of EVs as a percentage of road vehicles is exponentially higher in China and it's not even close. In some areas you're approaching 50% of all personal vehicles being EVs

David Shore? The Good Doctor was mid a.f., he was probably upset China was dunking on it to make fried memes.
